Not only can unspeakable names cause trouble during communication but
also when it comes to official documents that simply don’t have enough
space to write out an entire surname. In this case, a 54 years old woman
from Hawaii had to deal with the very same problem for years.

Here we go again, and it looks bad for Germany to process an Anti-Spy-Act
with the USA. Susan Rice has officially stated that the USA are NOT willing
to give a non-spying warranty in the future and thus create a precedence
case for other countries to demand such from the USA.

Funny enough to see that it takes 2 minor releases ’til Microsoft recognizes
that you’d better not change a running system. While Windows 8 is a real
goalgetter on tablets and touchscreen notebooks, it cannot get ground on
stationary PCs and classic notebooks. Win7 makes it’s rounds there.

It was time to upgrade my cell phone as the iPhone 4 was on it’s way to
complete the 4th year of service. Don’t get me wrong – the iPhone 4 is
still an outstanding device. But you notice that iOS7 is giving it serious
headache. Apps start sluggish and iOS7 drags power as hell.

When it comes to screen protection for mobile gadgets, you’ll find yourself
on a market where thousands of companies try to get your attention. One
of them is Spigen who were able to get mine. Hardened glass that’s ultrathin
yet scratch-resistant and easy to install. Big words or reality?

Detroit has hard financial times ahead. So hard, that Detroit has finally
applied for ordered bankruptcy according to Chapter 13 of the United
States bankruptcy code. This means, the city is undergoing an ordered
reorganization of the finances in order to get up to shape again.

So… finally the US cartel authority has given green lights for Microsoft to
take over Nokia’s cellphone business. With a total sum of 3.6 billion US$
and additional 1.45 billion US$ for patents held by Nokia today, the deal
is also okay for the european cartel authority in Brussels.

There was a short break for Garfield but he’s back with some new Top 15.
Have fun reading his next 15 Shorts where he is in Action with Jon and
the rest of the world. Can’t exactly tell when the next Top 15 appear but
stay tuned and have fun!
